Description of the six latent profiles based on standardised BREQ-2 variables across all timepoints and proportions of membership.
| Variable | Profile 1 (Strongly amotivated) | Profile 2 (Amotivated) | Profile 3 (Controlled and amotivated) | Profile 4 (Low in motivation) | Profile 5 (Autonomously motivated and introjected) | Profile 6 (Autonomously motivated) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Intrinsic | −0.11 | −1.32 | −0.77 | −0.16 | 0.92 | −1.75 |
| 2. Identified | 0.12 | −1.05 | −0.66 | −0.12 | 0.71 | −1.60 |
| 3. Introjected | 0.83 | −0.61 | 0.36 | −0.25 | 0.27 | −0.70 |
| 4. External | 0.92 | −0.09 | 1.12 | −0.16 | −0.19 | 0.09 |
| 5. Amotivation | 0.08 | 0.17 | 1.14 | −0.15 | −0.28 | 1.41 |
Note. Positive values represent a strong endorsement of the behavioural regulation type and negative values indicate a weak endorsement of the behaviour regulation type. Values closer to zero indicate neutral responses.
